Gangrena Gasosa

Gangrena Gasosa is a Brazilian metal band from Rio de Janeiro known for incorporating elements of Umbanda and other Afro-Brazilian religions in their look and music.  The band drew attention for each member representing an religion spirit or entity, dressing as such, and mixing crossover thrash with percussion and umbanda pontos, a mixture that was named by the band members as "saravá metal".[1][2]
